Namashite Village

First topic message reminder :

A small, mostly red and yellow dragon wandered around the village, ducking between houses and under anything she could find so that she would go unnoticed. Erulissë was planning on finding something tasty to eat.
She wandered into one of the houses, following a rather nice smell....

"Nor would I..." sighed Erulissë. She had lived a mostly solitary life so didn't have many friends.. if any, that she would even consider appointing a jewel shard to.
"At least if you kept it, we'd know it was safe..."

"I suppose I could watch it for a while, even if I'm not going to use it." she said. She wondered what she would even need it for, anyways. "I guess I could use it to lure out hidden demons..." she said, thinking to herself. "Anyway, now that all this is over with, why don't we get out of here before the villagers come to inspect the place?" Natsumi asked.

Erulissë nodded and swiftly padded out of the blacksmith's building. She stopped and waited for Natsumi. "What will you do now?" she asked quietly.

"Me? Well, I usually only stay in one place as long as I am needed, and I'm not sensing anymore demons in this town." Natsumi said, double-checking the areato be sure. "Since that seems to be the case, I'll probably make tracks for another destination now. What about you?" she asked.

"I don't know... I just tend to wander wherever the scent of food leads me." she laughed.
After the laughter subsided, she stood in silent thought, looking up at the sky.

"Nothing wrong with that!" Natsumi laughed. "I guess we're sorta alike in that sense. I follow demons, you follow food... Life's good." she continiued contently.

Erulissë smiled, "Yea...."
After a few more seconds of watching the clouds drift by, she shifted her gaze back to the priestess. "Is it alright... If I hang around with you for a while?" she asked quietly, "I mean.. I don't exactly want my wing to get any worse, and you seem to know how to treat it..."

"No, I don't mind at all!" Natsumi said happily. "It might be better if I was around when you enter villages anyway, so you aren't attacked as soon as a person sees you." she said.

The dragon demon grinned, "Thankyou Natsumi."
Erulissë blinked and had a sudden realisation. "All that trouble and I left my fish in the forest..."
She sighed, "Some other demon has probably eaten it by now."

"That's alright, I'm sure i can do something about that!" Natsumi said, more than willing to help her newfound friend. She turned back to the village.

"Really?" she replied, genuinely wondering what she meant.

"Yes, follow me!" she said as she wandered inside the village border. "Try to lay low so you don't get caught, though. That would be bad." she said.

Erulissë nodded but then stopped. "Wait. This might help."
Her body began to glow a faint orange colour as she transformed into her human form. She shook her head as she got used to standing upright on two legs. She wobbled slightly, as she hadn't been in this form for a long while, but regained her balance.
She was wearing an orange dress like this in style, but instead, was a shade of orange that matched her fur in her true demon form. The dress had the markings her demon form had on its sides and back.
In this form, Erulissë had ginger hair and blue eyes, and wore two bracelets with feathers also matching the ones from her true demon form, hanging from them.
Admittedly she still retained the ears from her true demon form, but could have been mistaken for a half demon, rather than a full one.

"Yes, that does help! This village has many places with good food, so go ahead and take your pick!" Natsumi said, also ready to fill her now empty stomach.

The dragon demon grinned, "I'm spoiled for choice!"
Eventually she picked a rather simple place where she thought she would attract the least attention.

"Good choice, let's head over!" Natsumi said, already beginning to make her way over to the resteraunt.

Erulissë followed her, noticing a few weird looks she was getting from some of the locals. She almost laughed, since they would probably be attacking her as a giant mob if she was still in her miniature form.

Natsumi stepped into the building feeling hungrier than she had before, as she had been smelling faint yet delicious smells the whole time she had been walking over. As she entered, the resturaunt grew quiet, mostly out of shock and respect. A few hushed voices whispered excitedly about the random visit by the priestess.

The dragon demon shyly followed Natsumi into the resteraunt. Her ears were pinned againsed her head as she was still slightly afraid of what the villagers might do.

The villagers in the store looked at Erulissë for a second, but quickly turned back to the priestess as she seated herself and thought about what she might want to eat.

Erulissë sat down but couldn't decide what to eat. She sighed, "I cant choose..."

Neither can I, although I have heard that they have amazing rice balls." Natsumi said, gazing at her options.

"I think Ill try some of those then." she smiled, her ears perking up slightly as she grinned.

"I will too, because I can't find anything that I would like more and now that we've been talking about it they're starting to sound really good!" she grinned as she placed their order.

Erulissë grinned, her mouth watering as she thought about how tasty the rice balls must be.
"I haven't had rice balls in ages!!"
